Saturn 3 is a boring sci-fi movie starring Kirk Douglas, Farrah Fawcett and Harvey Keitel. Strange. The movie is about this bizarre love triangle out in space. One of the pricks of the triangle is working on a robot that starts killing everyone. Believe me. It sounds better than it actually is.

The concept is high, the casting is grand, and the pacing is low. It is a strange artifact of its day and yet speaks very deeply about the dangers of automation and AI in our current era. It's certainly not a gripping sci-fi even for its time, but it does look gorgeous and still has a place in a sci-fi connoisseur's video library.
